Default Wheels question

I just got a set of used Maya STM 19". I have couple questions, being a newbie Staggered wheels owner.

1. The Maya STM is Technicaly 3 pieces, but Physicaly 2 pieces since the front lip and the rear are welded together. So for cleaning & detailing, can I just remove the face (spokes) from the wheel ring itself? I don't have to deflate or do anything with the tires right?

2. To remove the Rivets on the STM, is there a special Key from Maya that I'd need to get or what can I use to remove them? Can someone tell me where to look for the key and what size?

Thanks again.

ditto. dont EVER try to take your wheel apart on your own. just get some fine cleaning brushes and clean them that way.

yea just cause its a 2 or 3 piece wheel doesnt mean its meant to be taken apart. They have special machines at the factory to do that.

okay, so I'll just clean them normally then. I was hoping it'd make it easier for the detailing, etc.
